180 - "The Crime on Christmas Night" by Gaston Leroux

Content Warning: reference to suicide

UCA is officially 10 years old, and to belatedly acknowledge this, Kaela has a special Christmas gift for David: Holiday-adjacent pulp from Weird Tales, written by the author of The Phantom of the Opera. The duo that started it will have contend with sailors, street fairs and the notion that Baby Jesus might actually be the one delivering gifts on Christmas Eve.

Story by Gaston Leroux, first published in Weird Tales, December 1930.
